Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works for me so far I bought this to help my sun pigmentation on my cheeks. I have only been using it for 3 weeks now so I'm not sure how much it improved/fix this damage but I feel like it definitely stopped getting it worse.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing!! Don’t think I can live with out it! One of the few products on the market that help with pigmentation and can be used while I’m breastfeeding. Will be repurchasing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Comedogenic Each time I used it, acnes started to appear and then when I stopped using it, I was ok..I tested it 3 times and each time I started to use it, I broke out in painful acne. I was really looking forward to a clearer skin and instead ended up with blemishes
